Prices on pork fell at the Russian market, announced the General Director of Belovezhsky OJSC Yury Moroz commenting for BUSINESS NEWS the reduction of pork exports to Russia according to the National Statistical Committee.

The price on pork was RUB 110-115 per 1 kg in summer but now it is over RUB 105 per 1 kg, according to Yury Moroz. He pointed out that price on finished goods remains the same at the Russian market.

"Many Russian companies which were our regular partners announced that they did not need our products temporary. But it is not clear how long this “temporary” will last", Yury Moroz noted pointing out that exports of pork to Kazakhstan were stopped. Now Belovezhsky has to look for new sale markets for meat, the source said.

However, Yury Moroz is convinced that the company could keep "export deliveries reached" by the year end. At present the company manages to maintain exports of pork, the source noted. The enterprise weekly sales over 120 tons of pork to Russia (it is 60% of all sales volume).

The enterprise production output rose by 8% and exports to Russia increased by 15% in January-October 2012, Moroz noted.
